I won’t be happy until I can mount my thermostat over 9p

Had this thought looking for an outlet timer recently. There doesn't seem to be anything in between a displayless smart plug and these ridiculous tiny display, crazy button interface things that require referencing a manual every time you want to change something. Smart outlets are great, but when you are standing right in front of something or you want other people to be able to easily program something and have a quick visual reference of something like a timer on time, a user friendly interface would really be nice.

I'm quite happy with my Tasmota outlets. They don't have a display, but I have a thing with a display already with me, so why would I need another display at the outlet, which would make it bulkier and more inconvenient to use.

I guess you don't. I gave the reasons that I do

Fun that this is brought up at this time. Just a few days ago I tried to program the programable thermostat of my grandma. I am convinced that the thing has a bug making it impossible to select a schedule... It has a lot of buttons and a screen, but due to a minuscule mistake in the interface it's no better than a temperature slider....

I want up, down, on, off. If I feel the need to tinker, I'll start yet another project that I'll probably never finish.

I'm quite happy with my vimar 01910
